Cool New Book for you Pure Land Folks

[Josef]

The Promise of Amida Buddha.
A significant collection of Honen Shonins works.
Really cool stuff even if one isnt a Pure Land practitioner.

Yup.
Its finally available Wisdom just announced it this afternoon.
I think the Mahamudra LOTC volume will be out very soon as well.

Just found this site & so propitious. We're going to be having a book discussion of this very text over here:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodoshubuddhism

Don't want or mean to take the discussion away from here, in fact I'll tell our group members about this website too. Gosh I missed e-sangha.

FYI the groups has two Jodo Shu ordained priests, Stephen and Shinri there, answering questions etc.
